The Killers are marking the 20th anniversary of their seminal record, Hot Fuss, this year. As part of the celebration, the rock group is heading to their hometown of Las Vegas for a residency that will see them playing the album in full for the first time.

The band will play eight shows at The Colosseum in Caesars Palace from August 14 through August 30. The tickets are going on sale for the general public on January 27.

The Killers released Hot Fuss on June 7, 2004, for British indie record label Lizard King Records. The album featured hit singles like “Mr. Brightside” and “Somebody Told Me”, and was met with positive reviews from the critics and audience. It remained at the top of the UK Albums charts for two weeks and peaked at No. 7 on the US Billboard 200. The record was also nominated for the Grammy Award in the Best Rock Album category.

Before they settle in Las Vegas for their Hot Fuss residency, The Killers plan to tour the UK and Ireland in June and July. The group previously planned to release their eighth studio album in 2023 but opted to scrap the record in favor of the greatest hits album Rebel Diamonds.

In a recent interview with The Sun, The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers revealed why the band scrapped what would have been their eighth studio album. According to Flowers, the record “just didn’t feel authentic.”

Back in 2022, the band revealed plans to release a new studio album, a follow-up to 2021’s Pressure Machine. The project was scheduled to arrive at some point in 2023 and would see the band depart from their signature style and venture into synth-influenced sound.

However, The Killers only shared the album’s lead single, “Your Side of the Town,” which came out in August, before deciding to abandon the plans for the record. Now, Flowers decided to share more about that decision.

“It just didn’t feel authentic. It felt like we were forcing something,” Flowers told The Sun. “We love synth music, it’s a part of our DNA and there’s been great contributions from us in that genre. And man, we love New Order and Depeche Mode, so it’s not a slight. It just doesn’t feel right for us at the moment.”

Instead, The Killers opted to release a greatest hits album titled Rebel Diamonds. The release, which arrived on December 8, also contains “Your Side of Town” as well as previously unreleased singles “Boy” and “Spirit.”
